AfterBathroom Remodeling in The Woodlands: Honest Answers Before You Sign Anything
A full bathroom remodel in The Woodlands typically runs $9,000-$28,000, with small bathrooms falling between $5,000 and $12,000. Most jobs take two to four weeks once permits clear, though homes in older villages like Grogan’s Mill can face extra design-review time because of deed restrictions on protected trees. If the last contractor left you with a surprise bill or an unpermitted mess, that’s exactly the kind of situation we fix. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get Tom Barrett or one of his sons on the phone, not a call center.
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, founded in 1998 and owner-operated by Tom Barrett. Not a franchise. Not a rotating cast of subcontractors. Tom’s name, address, and license number are published for anyone to verify. Ask anyone on your street about us, or look up the license number yourself. We’d rather you check than trust a slogan.
Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across The Woodlands
The Woodlands isn’t like Conroe or Spring when it comes to remodeling. Every village from Grogan’s Mill to Creekside Park has its own Architectural Review Committee, and that ARC process sets the pace for your bathroom project before a single tile gets pulled. If your builder doesn’t understand protected-tree setbacks, canopy rules, or the village-specific design review timeline, your shower renovation can stall for three weeks waiting on an arborist report nobody told you about. We’ve been through those ARC submissions enough times to know what triggers a delay and what sails through.
We serve the entire 77381 ZIP code and the surrounding villages: Grogan’s Mill, Panther Creek, Alden Bridge, Creekside Park, Sterling Ridge, Cochran’s Crossing, and Village of Indian Springs. Our crews drive in from the Houston office and work locally, so we’re not making you wait on someone from across the metro. For a free estimate at your door, call (877) 610-1318. No trip charge inside the county, and if you already have a written estimate from another company, bring it to us for a free second opinion.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is The Woodlands’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Twenty-nine years in business. Owner-operated the entire time. Tom’s sons run the crews, and they carry the Barrett & Sons name on their shirts and their trucks. That’s not marketing; it’s accountability. If a shower pan leaks three months after we finish, Tom wants to know about it. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract, in plain language: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right.
Every bathroom remodel we take in The Woodlands includes permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job. No exceptions. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why I like him. Some of the messes we see in this community come from contractors who told homeowners permits were optional. In a master-planned community with ARC oversight, unpermitted work is a liability you’ll feel at resale. We don’t play that game.
Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives on paper before work proceeds. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Our customers in Panther Creek and Alden Bridge have heard that line from us, and they’ve also seen it hold up over years of work.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in The Woodlands
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A complete bathroom overhaul in The Woodlands means gutting to the studs in many Grogan’s Mill homes from the 1970s and 1980s, where forty-year-old cast iron and post-tension slab realities shape what’s realistic. We handle layout changes, plumbing relocation, electrical upgrades, waterproofing, tile, and finish work. Our Bathroom Remodeling team coordinates the ARC paperwork alongside demolition, so one process doesn’t hold the other hostage.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in The Woodlands runs $4,500-$12,000 depending on glass, tile, and whether we’re converting a tub or starting fresh. In older village homes with slab foundations, proper waterproofing and drain relocation matter more than the finish on the wall tile. We build showers that shed water for decades, not just for the warranty window.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion is the most common request we hear from homeowners in The Woodlands who want to age in place. It typically runs $3,500-$10,000. If your knees are done with lifting over a tub wall in your Alden Bridge home, this is the straightforward fix that transforms a bathroom without moving a single wall.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation runs $800-$3,000 in The Woodlands, with tile and fixture work priced per square foot and per fixture after we see the space. We stock and install premium brands you can look up: KraftMaid, Cambria, and other names that stand behind their products. No mystery brands off a van.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Woodlands
We install materials from brands that have customer service departments and named warranties: KraftMaid cabinetry, Cambria quartz, and other manufacturers we’ve vetted over 29 years. For hardscape tie-ins like a bathroom-adjacent stone patio or a paver path to the outdoor shower, we use Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers. These are brands you can research before you commit. We also regularly order parts for bathrooms in The Woodlands homes from local suppliers here in Montgomery County, which keeps lead times shorter than shipping everything from out of state. If you need a specific fixture or a matching tile batch, tell us the brand and we’ll get it moving.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in The Woodlands Homes
- Post-tension slab realities: Homes in Grogan’s Mill and Panther Creek sit on post-tension cable slabs. Cutting into those for drain relocation requires locating and avoiding stressed cables, which a careless contractor can damage without ever realizing until the slab cracks. Our crews know how to scan and work around them.
- Original cast iron drain lines: The oldest homes in The Woodlands are now 40-50 years old. Cast iron drain lines from the 1970s rust from the inside out, and a bathroom remodel is the moment you discover whether yours are still holding. We inspect while the walls are open, before tile covers everything back up.
- ARC delays no one mentioned at the estimate: A mature loblolly pine with surface roots near your foundation means a variance request and a certified arborist report before foundation or drainage work can proceed in some villages. A builder from Tomball won’t see that coming. We tell you at the estimate, not week three.
- Post-Harvey moisture and mold behind old tile: Lower-lying sections of The Woodlands took water during Harvey in 2017, and some bathrooms got dried out on the surface but never opened up properly behind the tile. We find the hidden damage during demolition and address it before new waterproofing goes in.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in The Woodlands
Most bathroom remodels in The Woodlands take two to four weeks of construction, but the timeline depends on your village’s ARC review process and whether protected trees or setback issues trigger a variance. We submit design-review paperwork early and run construction concurrent where the village allows, so your job isn’t waiting in the same queue as everyone else’s. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written schedule alongside your written estimate.
Yes. We pull permits and schedule inspections on every eligible job in The Woodlands, including Montgomery County permits and village ARC approvals where required. We don’t do unpermitted work and we don’t ask you to pull permits yourself. The inspector checks our work, and that’s exactly the way it should be. If a previous contractor told you permits were optional, call us for a second opinion.
We can match tile and fixtures when the existing materials are still manufactured or closeouts of them are available. Grogan’s Mill and Panther Creek homes from the 1970s and 1980s sometimes have tile that hasn’t been made in twenty years. In those cases we find the closest available match or work with you to select a replacement that complements the era of the home rather than fights it.
Yes. Free estimates for bathroom remodeling in The Woodlands, with no trip charge inside the county. We’ll walk your bathroom, listen to what’s not working, and put a line-item price on paper before you ever sign anything. If you already have a written estimate from another contractor, bring it in for a free second opinion. We’ll tell you honestly if theirs is fair, too low to be real, or missing a scope item that will bite you later.
Every bathroom remodel we complete in The Woodlands comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract in plain language. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom Barrett back to make it right. That’s not a brochure promise; it’s a contract term. Beyond the 90 days, manufacturer warranties on the materials we install apply and we’ll help you understand exactly what’s covered by whom.
Whether you’re in Grogan’s Mill with a 1978 bathroom that needs everything, or in Creekside Park dreaming of a walk-in shower with frameless glass, the next step is the same: call (877) 610-1318. We’ll schedule your free estimate, show up on time, and put the real numbers in writing. No surprises, no pressure, and a face you’ll see again at the hardware store.
